Chapter 19 Second Martial Soul: How to Use the Album
Among the various forces, Yue Douluo's martial soul is naturally no secret.
Dugu Bo stroked his beard and laughed, "It is indeed a martial soul, but there are also such Immortal Herbs in this world."
"That's really amazing," Qian Renxue exclaimed, but she remained unsure whether the information was true or not.
In the Douluo Continent, if someone claims to have eaten some rare and precious herbs to enhance their soul power or cultivate, others will immediately suspect that they are an evil soul master! An evil cultivator!
They completely disbelieved in the existence of "miracle herbs".
"Not only that! I also know that Yue Douluo has a catalog of Immortal Herbs, which records dozens of Immortal Herbs! Your Highness, you should know that since there are such records of Immortal Herbs, these Immortal Herbs must have appeared in history."
Qian Renxue pondered for a moment and felt it made a lot of sense. But how can you prove that the Immortal Herb Catalogue wasn't compiled by ancient people based on the characteristics of some powerful martial souls?
Dugu Bo continued, "I wonder if Your Highness could use your connections in the Heaven Dou Empire to obtain a copy of the Immortal Herb Catalogue from Yue Douluo for me? Your Highness should have heard that I have some grudges against Yue Douluo. If I were to personally go to him... hahaha~~"
In the end, Dugu Bo chuckled self-deprecatingly. His feud with Yue Douluo might not be common knowledge, but it was known to the major powers.
Qian Renxue did not agree immediately, but pretended to say, "This concerns the Spirit Hall, so I need to discuss it with my father. If there is any news, I will definitely inform you, senior."
"Very well, Your Highness, do your best."
Although he said that Qian Renxue should just do her best, Dugu Bo was certain that if Qian Renxue agreed, it would be almost certain.
A moment later, Dugu Bo won the soul bone for 2.7 million Gold Soul Coins in a battle with another private room.
As the auction was about to end, Dugu Bo stood up to leave, but suddenly stopped, turned around to look at Qian Renxue, and said, "Yan'er is my most beloved granddaughter! If Yan'er agrees to marry you, I... I hope she can spend more time with me. If she can break through to the Soul King realm before she turns 20, I hope... we can postpone the wedding for a few more years, giving her some time to cultivate and improve her cultivation."
Postponing the wedding date? Is that even possible?
Qian Renxue was overjoyed, but then she thought: Breaking through to Soul King at the age of 20? That's something only the most outstanding genius Soul Masters on this continent can do, while Dugu Yan is just an ordinary little genius.
It's not safe! It's not safe at all!
So Qian Renxue said, "Your Highness's affection for Miss Yan'er is truly enviable! Perhaps... we should wait until she turns 25. If she can break through to the Soul King realm by then... we can postpone the wedding for a few more years."
"Good!"
Dugu Bo readily agreed and then said, "Then I will await Your Highness's good news at the manor."
"Respectfully seeing off the senior."
Qian Renxue clasped her hands in a respectful greeting and saw Dugu Bo off.
After Dugu Bo left, Qian Renxue asked, "Uncle She, do you think I can completely recruit Poison Douluo?"
After pondering for a moment, Serpent Spear Douluo said, "We can give it a try. He is not opposed to the Spirit Hall, and even seems to admire it."
At this moment, when the two of them said they would completely recruit her, they meant that even if Qian Renxue's identity were exposed one day, Dugu Bo would still support her without hesitation.
"Uncle She, let's go back to the palace."
Neither of them mentioned the soul bones or the Immortal Herb Manual. Compared to Poison Douluo's support, the two soul bones seemed insignificant, as the Spirit Hall had no shortage of soul bones. Even if they didn't have poison-attribute soul bones, other soul bones would suffice. As for the Immortal Herb Manual, all they had to do was write a letter back, and Yue Douluo would obediently copy one and send it over.
On the other side, after leaving the auction house, Dugu Bo immediately rushed to the Ying Yang Ice And Fire Eyes.
"Lin'er, the matter is settled!"
"It's all done?!"
Dugu Lin was overjoyed and quickly inquired about the details.
After learning the details, Dugu Lin laughed heartily: "What if she finds out one day that she was taken advantage of? Won't she go berserk? Won't she bring all those old guys from the Hall of Offerings to come and kill us?"
"It shouldn't be that bad, right?" Dugu Bo was unsure.
"Haha~~ Never mind all that, I'll just invest more in her in the future. Grandpa, I have some good news too!"
"What good news?"
"Look at my martial soul!"
After saying that, Dugu Lin pointed to the second martial soul placed to the side: the martial soul picture book.
Dugu Bo looked at his grandson's martial soul and exclaimed in surprise, "Huh? It's even thicker now!"
"I couldn't resist the temptation the day before yesterday and ate that Beautiful Silk Tulip. My 'Martial Soul Album' martial soul has evolved, from three pages to nine pages!"
Nine pages?
"Yes! Moreover, I experimented with it and learned a basic way to use my second martial soul."
"What is it used for?"
"Drawing in a picture book!"
At first!
Dugu Lin guessed that the 'Martial Soul Album' would record a certain soul beast after absorbing its soul ring, and it could also be used to draw pictures.
After various experiments, the results were exactly as predicted!
Dugu Lin discovered that his second martial soul, the 'Martial Soul Album,' could use blood as a medium and soul power as a brush to draw on it, and also erase the contents. Then... Dugu Lin's first thought was to draw a Transformer.
Unfortunately, despite expending all his soul power and a pound of blood, Dugu Lin's drawing in the album was utterly useless. Dugu Lin guessed that this was because he lacked soul rings!
"Painting? Is that its only purpose?" Dugu Bo asked thoughtfully.
"First of all, Grandpa, look, my second spirit is definitely related to which kind of spirit beast's spirit ring I absorb! And then look, I can paint on my second spirit. Doesn't that mean that after I obtain a spirit ring in the future, I can artificially intervene in the growth of my spirit? If I artificially intervene, what will happen to its future development?"
"This..." Dugu Bo's mouth went dry for a moment, and many thoughts came to mind.
In the history of the Douluo Continent, what kind of soul skills are gained by absorbing soul rings? One is to find suitable soul beasts based on experience, and the other is to leave it to fate!
And his grandson can actually interfere with soul skills!
When Dugu Lin figured out how to use the second martial soul, he also thought of many things.
For example: add a pair of wings, two more legs, and two more heads to a tiger.
For example: Add whiskers, horns, and claws to a snake.
For example, Dugu Lin plans to choose the 100,000-year-old Soft Bone Rabbit as the first ring of his second spirit, then directly erase the image of the Soft Bone Rabbit recorded in the spirit, keeping only the 100,000-year spirit ring, and then redraw a Transformer on it... Tsk tsk tsk~~ Just thinking about it is exciting.
For example, you could acquire a 100,000-year spirit ring, erase the original spirit pattern, and draw on top-tier weapon spirits like the Clear Sky Hammer or the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda. You could even draw on the Eastern Emperor Bell, the Pangu Banner, the Innate Gourd Vine, or the Yellow Plum... Well, Dugu Lin didn't know what the Eastern Emperor Bell, the Pangu Banner, the Innate Gourd Vine, or the Yellow Plum looked like.
At most, I know what a ginseng fruit looks like.
